So, i've been working away in the background, and i've managed to edit an older sheet in Roll20 to bring it fully inline with The World Below - it handles all your dice rolls, includes space for your avatar, and also has lots of (collapsable) space to record and log all the details about your character and their various Theses, Syntheses, Sorceries, and everything else - and what's more, you can send this text to the roll window for easy reference, and to show it to the rest of the group. The sheet also aims to help with character creation, all all of the various options given by Community, Dialectic, Ancestry, Calling etc, are all plugged into the sheet as well, so you can easily see what elements each Path grants you. Right now, the sheet will only work for Pro users, but i'll soon have it uploaded to Roll20 so any user can pull it from the drop down when creating a game. Once i'm up to speed, i hope to add in the tabs needed for antagonist stats too, as well as maybe even a Settlement tab, to record changes from the Kalm period. I've got some screenshots and a link to my test sheet on Roll20 on the Onyx Path Discord, as it doesn't seem I can post images here :)

We're nearly in our final 24 hours and have done so well so far! Thank you so much to everyone who has been sharing, backing, telling others, creating videos, making podcasts, and everything else you've done to support this project. It's genuinely appreciated.

In the final 24 hours we're going to want to see what other stretch goals we can unlock and how close we can get to the big 1,000 backer mark! This last day is always tense, but keep on sharing, tell your forums, Reddit groups, gaming groups, and social media followers that this is a project worth hopping onto before the campaign ends!

Thank you all again, most sincerely!

Just read that the pdf version included an "own-cost" PoD. It also says it is discounted. Does it mean just how generally it is cheaper, or a discount on top of it? (I dont guess you know the price of that one yet) Also: will the PoD be also in colour?

Theses, Syntheses, and Sorceries! All of them released to the backers of the campaign so far. Which ones speak to you? Which ones will you be equipping to your first character?

If you're interested in learning the inner process of developing an RPG, I strongly recommend backing at the Alchemist tier. It enables you to be a Consulting Developer on an upcoming book, which opens up the developer's redlining process (where they review a manuscript following first drafts) and development process (where they complete the final drafts) to you. I took the Consulting Developer tier on a Werewolf book many moons ago, and can attest that by doing so it provided me a strong education for what developers are looking for in a new writer's work. It's very much worth the money if you're looking to learn that kind of thing. And even if not, it allows you to read a manuscript before any other customer!

Thank you to the backers who just picked up the three Farsighter tiers and get to play in a game of The World Below with myself and Ed Greenwood! We'll have to see if more can be made available! It'll all depend on Ed and my schedules, but stay tuned.

If you want to get in as a Consulting Developer for The World Below, getting to see manuscripts as they're being written, having an opportunity to observe and comment on the redline and development process, do so before the pledge tier is taken! Only one remains!

For anyone looking to get into a game while the campaign is on the go, I've attached a PDF version of a character sheet for The World Below. This is only a rough version at this time (you never know what might get tweaked, and the character sheet doesn't have all the fonts and borders we'd want in an official version), but should be enough to get you started!

I'm so hype for you all to get a chance to see the settlement building aspect of this game. The Kalm phase is legit the part of The World Below that has me the most hype. Maybe it's because it's the one of the system parts I didn't write. Maybe it's because tower defense games are super appealing to me. Maybe it's just because I enjoy making a little place that I can call home, and this lets me gamify that. Whatever it is, I vibe hard with this part of the game, and I think it is one of the strongest selling points for it being more than just another fantasy game. So I have a question for all the backers: What do you think the rules for settlement building will look like?

A Bunch of Gamers did Character Creation for The World Below. They go through most of the steps as blind as anyone can be for a new game system and give their thoughts at the end. Their one shot comes out next week! Go give them a listen!
They're also on Spotify, Wisdom, Audible Podcasts/Amazon Music, and many more! Go check them out!

Already two thirds of the way there within the first 24 hours! Not at all bad for a brand new game line. Please let people know about this project so we can really build on that first 48 hour hype!
